Local organization heads southeast to help people in the path of Hurricane Florence

Early in the morning, the Heart to Heart International medical unit left its home base in the Kansas City area to head to the southeast coastline, where Hurricane Florence is set to make landfall later Thursday. The driver and two nurses will be joined by additional staff on the ground when they arrive.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Heart to Heart International is a global nonprofit based in the Kansas City area whose mission it is to help disaster victims.

The organization
has provided medical aid and supplies for more than 130 countries and now it's needed at home in the U.S.

Look at this closely. The latest track of Hurricane #Florence
has the storm slowing down substantially & riding along the coastline of North & South Carolina as a Category 2 storm. Nasty flooding & storm surge will be life-threatening. pic.twitter.com/k1rqJFsoZK
